I made these 2 suncatchers quite some time back, but didn't get them on the rings. The first is size 40 Lizbeth Blue Ice with cheap beads and a snowflake doodad in the center. The second is size 60 Tatskool's HDT Flame Lantana with crystallized Swarovski Elements bicone beads. These 2 are for me!!!

Next....I have finished round 5 on my green project and even sewed in the ends(a major first for me!!!). I am now ready to add the final touch and prayerfully this will be awesome when done!!! :)

Still working on my green gift!! And my smaller secret projects too! :)

Had this outer round finished last night and almost cried when I actual calmed down from the excitement of getting this round done, and found out that I had missed a join. I cut out the section up to the missed picot and had to tie all the threads together and hide 4 ends and try and finish it again. Let me just say, that I was too upset last night after cutting, that it sat all night and I worked on it today and finished that round again. :)

Plenty to do today, but I had time to get this next round done!! I am getting used to getting these beads in. And I hope to get more done tonight, or to work on my project that I cannot show(the one with lots of small items). Have an awesome day everyone!!! :)

I just saw this morning on IsDihara's blog that Tat Days are in Sept. And I found out that it's in Georgia. My husband's dad lives in Georgia and he wants to visit him and that would give us both something to do there. I would like to know what all the costs are, how close lodging is and restaurants, and what you do there.
I like to have all the details and costs before considering long trips. :) Anything else I should know, please let me know. :)

This is the start of a gift I am making for a friend who loves green. Can't wait to see the finished project emerge, but that will take some time since I am not used to placing beads in the center of rings. I am using Yarnplayer's video( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdAiMBmhPXk ) to achieve this look. I had to modify it a bit to put the beads in sideways so I would be able to make the joins at the top of the rings. I think it looks pretty good for my first time. Now if the rest of it turns out as good. :)

I have tatted the Fandango edging before and liked it, but I got messed up on this from the beginning and I think I tatted the pattern backward(don't ask), and miscounted my beads, and joined where I wasn't supposed to...any other mistakes I just don't want to know about. :)

Either way, I think it's kinda pretty!! :) Sorry about the scan(I hate this newer scanner)!
